The question, “Are you saved?” asks whether or not you have trusted Christ’s shed blood on the cross as payment for your sins. It is not asking about what works that you, or others, may have done.

All of the unresponsive answers refer to something that a person does, but salvation is what Christ has already done for us, Eph. 1:13, 2.4-8.
The blood of Christ has purchased what we could not earn ourselves, Col 1:14

We cannot be good enough to earn salvation because “there is none righteous” (Rom. 3:10) and “all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23). The “wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23).

To be saved, we must stop trusting ourselves & trust the blood payment that Christ has already made on our behalf!
Knowing that we are sinners and that Christ died for us, we should respond by placing our faith in Christ’s payment for our sin
